AFAIK there is no reasonable way to accomplish what you're trying, but one of the feature's i'd like to eventually add to libfossil is somewhat close: the ability to export a repository from it's starting point up to a specific point in time. i.e. export until version ABCD. It's not possible to cut out prior history (that would break hashing), but it should be fairly safe/straightforward to export up to a given cutoff point. Also, Stephan Beal, I cannot wait until libfossil can be used natively on Windows (without Cygwin). I have some ideas for using it in my workflow...

Usually before trying it on win32, I try it on Cygwin first, but since that's done nothing (except available time) stops me from going on. A MinGW build can re-use the GNU buildfiles.

Re: [fossil-users] copying a branch and history into a new repository
My SQL is not so great, but I could work with this and de/reconstruct. Thanks for the ideas. I have needed an excuse to dig deeper into the capabilities of Fossil since I joined the list and see people talking about custom SQL statements, the construct commands, and other advanced uses. Looks like I have a mini-project (yet another one!) for the next few weeks.

It is a pity that it is not really possible to convert a repository
from non-delta to use of deltas after the fact, to shrink it.
i think i might have an approach - untested, as i don't use git in my free
time...
1) export to git format, however that is done in fossil.
2) hack checkin.c, currently near line 1516:
if( !forceDelta !db_get_boolean(seen-delta-manifest,0) ){
forceBaseline = 1;
}
Swap that 0 at the end of the first line with a 1, and it should start
defaulting deltas.
3) Import the git dump to a new fossil repo.
That should recreate everything(?), using deltas where it can.
